Question 1

What is panic disorder?

Accepted Answer

Panic disorder is a psychiatric condition where a person has repeated panic attacks and lives with ongoing fear of more occurring. It’s highly treatable with the right care.

Question 2

Do I have to take medication forever?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Some patients benefit from long-term treatment, while others taper once symptoms improve. We'll discuss your goals and make a personalized plan.

Question 3

Why do my panic attacks feel like a heart problem?

Accepted Answer

Because the symptoms — racing heart, chest pain, shortness of breath — mimic heart issues. But panic is neurologically driven. We help you learn the difference and regain control.

Question 4

Can I get help even if I’ve had bad experiences with past providers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We hear this often. At Lucent Psych, we take every concern seriously — and build trust through empathy, clarity, and collaboration.
